Description
Trendy, the follow-up to 2005s The Rise And Fall Of The Tomatoes, is a gritty document of a band reaching new peaks. From the epic opener Gramercy Park to the noisy, crumbling end of Kicking You In The Shins, lead vocalist/guitarist Will Burdette, drummer Ryan Woody Dantagnan, and bassist/vocalist George Ortolano establish a bold new direction for the aggressive sound that defined Rise And Fall. Trendy proves to be a very taut, emblematic effort from a band exploring new ways to deliver their sonic boom to the masses.
The hypnotic stammer of Teenage Roosevelt erupts into distortion-driven anthem rock as Burdette laments his version of the suburban blues. Shangri-La unleashes a battering, visceral riff that underlines stuttering and maniacal Who-esque retorts like T-T-Television is in my brain. Amidst this clamor Ortolanos danceable bass beat opens up the riveting pop cut Death to R.I.P., a saxophone-bolstered jab at the indie-rock scene that depicts the persistent fear and loathing of the alt-rock loving Juliana a character first introduced in the song Chicago on Rise And Fall. The trio totally turns it all on its head with the piss-take country ramble Bathroom Wall complete with howling organs, hollers and handclaps. The brazenness doesnt stop there: Turn Up The Treble is a boozy take on 1950s sock-hop rock, while the stripped-down and driving S.R.M. culminates in more ragged saxophone blasts. And Dantagnans pummeling drums highlight straightforward rockers like Fight Song and I Gotta Dance, evidence that the band is more than willing to display its original hard rock tendencies.
Trendy is a diverse, smart picture of a band in command of their craft, a band exploring new depths while remaining close to their roots. It is the record that undoubtedly puts The Tomatoes in position to become an important force in popular music today.
